Our strategy and portfolio are highly relevant to our customers , as we help them transform the delivery of care along the health continuum . Building on this strength , we have signed an additional 19 long - term strategic partnerships with hospitals across the world , including a 10 - year partnership with Baptist Health in the US to provide patient monitoring solutions and standardize care across the network . We recorded EUR 4.2 billion sales in the quarter , with a 7.6 % comparable sales decline on the back of 10 % comparable sales growth last year . This quarter's sales were impacted unfavorably by intensified global supply chain issues , such as the shortage of electronic components , and the anticipated revenue consequences of the sleep recall , as we are prioritizing the remediation of affected devices in use by patients . The Adjusted EBITA margin was 12.3 % . The repair and replacement program related to the sleep recall notification is under way in the US and several other markets . I am conscious of the impact this is having on patients and care givers , and we are doing everything we can to deliver a solution as fast as possible . We successfully completed the sale of the Domestic Appliances business , resulting in a gain of EUR 2.5 billion . With this , we concluded our major divestments , allowing us to focus fully on extending our leadership in health technology and continuing our transformation into a solutions company .
